adriana trigiani... a fun night...

on tuesday night, i had the chance to go to a book signing by adriana trigiani...

 

it was SO much more than a signing... not only were there tasty appetizers and cake :)... there was a room full of fans ready to hear her speak... and most importantly laughter... like, for a couple of hours straight... {doesn't laughter just make ya feel better... it chases those cares away and puts you smack dab in the moment where you need to be}...

 

adriana... i had never been to see her before but i'd heard nothing but great things... and there she was... front and center in youngstown... she has quite a following and i can see why...

she's italian, she's hysterical and very relatable... like the type of friend you'd meet for coffee or dinner and talk with for hours...

 i enjoyed it so, so much!!! she shared stories about her life and family... talked about her new book, The Supreme Macaroni Company...

 and the release of her movie Big Stone Gap which comes out next year... can't wait to see it...

 

and a bonus... she signed our books and was so patient and funny while the guy trying to snap our photo took blurry pic after blurry pic with our phones...
this is the best one from the night...

i'm so glad i went!

have you read any of her books? 
{Queen of the Big Time is one of my favorites...}
